The legal basis for " Raumberg-Gumpenstein Research & Development-Establishment with its own legal personality at the higher Federal Education and Research Institute for Raumberg-Gumpenstein " is a decree of the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (GZ
25.510/0002-BS/5/2018).
Organized for private law, it is possible for RG-R & D to implement targeted research projects efficiently and successfully. Independent expertise, in particular for crisis -like damage and natural disasters, but also technical statements and reports are created by us. Knowledge transfer is of particular importance in all of our projects. Our topics include all applied aspects of the following areas:
- Climate impact research and climate impact adaptation strategies
- Promoting disadvantaged regions
- Balancing of energy, material and nutrient flows
- Reduction of emissions and immissions from livestock farming
- Cultural landscape research
- Organic farming
- Sustainability assessment
- Plant and animal biodiversity as well as nature and environmental protection
- Species-appropriate animal husbandry, animal health and animal welfare
- Quality management, analysis and evaluation of foods of animal
origin - Use of technology and electronics in agricultural management
With equipment at an international level and the technical
expertise of the Higher Federal Teaching and Research Institute Raumberg-
Gumpenstein as well as the new possibilities of RG-R&D, there are
excellent conditions for innovative and practical
research of the highest standard.
